Traditional Layouts from Retreat

these are the traditional layouts I made at the retreat last weekend. The first 2 are single page layouts, though I used my April Spring Fever CKC kit for each of the layouts so there are some similar paper and elements on both so that they can lay side by side in the album they are going into or they can be separated.

This layout was done for the 4/28 Chic tags-Challenge Sunday, the challenge was to use buttons. I was also inspired by the 4/30 Shopping Our Stash Challenge #99 to use numbers on a project.

this layout was inspired by the Scrap Our Stash #3 Challenge, to use 3 or more patterned papers from at least 3 different collections and rub-ons. I used CTMH, EP Everyday Eclectic and AC Dear Lizzy Neapolitan; down on the left page under the photo on the left are 3 little rub-ons. I used my March Corner Stop & Shop CKC kit to complete this challenge.

I actually cut down a journal card for the inside of the frame, it already had the flower on it and I added the number 1. I haven't added journaling to this page because I have another page planned with more 1st birthday photos that will have the journaling on it, these are just the messy cake shots! LoL!!

WOW; great pictures to scrap! I like both double-layouts; they are different but colorful and happy. I like what you made with the balloons! Thanks for playing along with Scrap Our Stash in May and welcome back soon!

About Me

My name is Julia and I am a scrapbooker and card maker. I have grown quite the collection of scrap goodies over the years and I do like to shop for newer things but like many others my collection is feeling a bit like a hoard and I have a real desire to use all the beautiful paper, embellishments and lovelies that I have collected. I have tried all kinds of styles and techniques over the years and I have determined that I love to use sketches, yet do my own thing, I like a clean style, though a little messy, a linear style, though a little off kilter, a monochromatic scheme, with lots of color and single photo layouts with opportunities to add multiple photos. There you have it! Honestly though I love to scrapbook and make cards!! I occasionally try new things though not nearly as frequently as when I was a younger scrapper. I love to share my layouts and cards and I hope to inspire others!
